Just ordered Promedia 2.1 Heritage computer speakers
Cleve replied to Cleve's topic in Personal Music Systems
BTW, for those curious - I just ran a low frequency sine wave sweep thru the Promedia Heritage from 20hz up thru 60 hz, and checked with my sound meter. Using my sound meter 40 hz was the same sound level as 50 hz and 60hz 36 hz was down ~4 db from 40 hz 32 hz was down about 6-7 dB. 28 hz was down 8 to 9 dB. 25 hz - levels were falling way off - 13-15 dB, but there's no expectation from the manufacturer of reproducing frequencies that deep. BTW, there was SOME response even in the mid to low 20s. Klipsch certainly didn't exaggerate the specs for this system. That is certainly ample bass response for music. -

Not bursting my bubble. I've heard both sets- and the Promedia Heritage are superior in every way for music. You may be confusing exaggerated bass for game playing with proper bass. BTW, I haven't censored anything. Not sure what you're even talking about, but new members shouldn't start flaming long time forum members for no good reason. I will warn you once. Thank you. -

Likes and dislikes so far about the Promedia Heritage... Likes Sound quality - amazing - the vast majority of Americans do not have a speaker system of this caliber - and it's just my laptop system. Anyway, I listen to music all the time now when I'm working or surfing in the study. Remote - great being able to easily adjust the sub level, as well as being able to mute and control volume without logging into my laptop or fiddling with a knob(s) on the system. Bluetooth - seamless - the Windows volume level pops up and shows the song playing and album cover art whenever I adjust the volume with the remote. And the system reconnects effortlessly to my laptop when I boot it in the morning. On-off - system automatically powers down when I shut down the laptop, and powers up when I boot my laptop. Aesthetics - just a beautiful looking system - what a great design choice to model them like miniature Heresies. I love looking at them - also the grills pop off just like regular speakers - love seeing a Klipsch horn driver built in. Dislikes - none Improvement - my only suggestion it would have been nice to have the remote connect wirelessly via radio or Bluetooth signal to the system like that of my Channel Master Stream Plus DVR's- instead of having to point it under the desk where I have the sub placed. That's a minor quibble. -

LOL - she's not an audio person at all - I bought her a high quality external bluetooth speaker for her to use with her phone a few years ago and she never uses it - it just sits collecting dust. I will never buy her an audio product again - lol. -
Those went quick at $1500 - and relatively local to me too. Ahhh well, my wife woulda had my head - lololol - although I suppose I could think about building a system of some sort in the living room too?

I have fish mounts in the rec room with my Klipsch home theater. Would that be considered FIN Shui?

I've been listening to them all day while working - playing Pandora's Cool Jazz Radio station - I am absolutely delighted with this system - it sounds outstanding. And the fact they look like miniature Heresies - a huge plus!!! I found myself more than once fondly gazing at them on my desk. Love 'em!!!!!! -

The One is a nice speaker - A friend of mine bought one - he's not into audio that much but he appreciates the sound quality - it does sound good. BTW, my own wife wasn't that enamored with my purchase. lol. Her first question to me was "How much did those cost?" I told her $350. She replied - "Oh Je#$%" - lol -

My ProMedias arrived yesterday afternoon - the first good sign was/is the heft of the box. I could tell it was a substantial system. The sub is massive - I've had Altec Lansing and Boston Acoustics 2.1 computer speaker systems - and this dwarfs the subs in those. Anyway, to make a long story short - I've had them for 16 hrs as I write this - they're wonderful. By far the best sounding computer speakers I've ever owned. I tried them with both analog and in Bluetooth. In Bluetooth mode, the remote integrates wonderfully with my Windows 10 laptop. Also, they look very sophisticated and elegant on my desk - not some little plastic 'jewel cubes' but real speakers. I love seeing the classic Klipsch logo on my desk. -
LOL - well, big changes in the last 8 years - for one thing, I'm married now - still have my system but the wifey would kill me if I blasted it all that often, so it's very rare I use anywhere near the potential of the gear. I did, prior to marriage enjoy testing the system once in a while and seeing the meters max out with with Mercury's Living Presence 1812 Overture CD cannon fire (much more dynamic, IMHO, than the Telarc version) However, to do so I would wear my hearing protection - you couldn't stay in the room with it. LOL

I haven't bought any new Klipsch in a long time..... or posted here......but...... it was time to replace my computer speakers in my home office. The Promedia Heritage really caught my eye, so I thought what the heck? Ordered today from the Klipsch website - looking forward to receiving and trying out.

They really don't look any different now than a decade ago. Been no issues with them whatsoever. They'll still handle the full power of my 2205 without breaking a sweat but I rarely push them that hard

10 years ago today I got my pair of CF-4s with cherry cabinets from AudioClassics. How time flies!
